Description

In this e-Learning course, we review the concepts of risk sensitivities, Delta, Gamma, and Vega, presented in the Excel version of the course, and expand on them by using Python to measure risk, and create powerful data visualizations to help us manage risk in rate-sensitive portfolios.
